Fantastic YT Channel about crawler suspension

[BA0701]

Jason is an engineer, who specializes in suspension, things like link rises, shock and link angles, weight distribution, etc... He gets really detailed in his explanations, like this little series he did a few months back on setting up anti-squat. If you have questions regarding crawler suspension, check out his channel, he may well have a video explaining the answer, in depth.

Some interesting ideas. Reading the comments below the video is also interesting.

Fascinating while at the same time requires having a chassis that can be altered/adjusted to play with cause & effect.

Ha! I knew from the subject already which channel you mean.

Jason’s explanations and findings are applicable to higher-speed vehicles as well, such as buggies and stadium trucks.

The best things about his videos are that he busts myths (like adding preload making your suspension stiffer), provides all the theory and formulas how he came to the conclusions, and also shows with practical examples that real-life findings are in line with the calculated outcomes.

I find the videos to be thorough, yet easy to digest, if you only take the time to watch the videos.

LOL, I knew it would be quite applicable with the crowd here at RCT. He talks about things that I never considered, or even knew I should.

He makes us think about these from totally new angles, and his applications and explanations of cause and effect are very much appreciated.

Agreed!

 

[MVRCA]

Agreed!

Yes, luckily 90% of all crawler chassis have such things. That's why all dem' holes are in there; they ain't for decoration. Now, what computer modeling decided on hole location is up for debate.

Test, test, test... That's half the fun with this stuff.

Test, test, test...

...and, when you're done, you can begin to do some more testing.
